True, although I'd prefer not to call QR, due to the fare being a very very special discount fare found in the premium fare deals forum.
Also if I retro-claim the 2 segments that would get me to silver a bit later, I can delay the start and end date of my new membership year a bit, giving me a longer timeframe to accumulate SP in the new membership year.
